tozzin Posted July 24, 2020 Share Posted July 24, 2020 I used to frequent this cinema along with the Manor & the Rex, I can remember seeing a film at the Carlton starring the fictional character Lash LaRue, a western hero who Favoured his trusty bullwhip, never saw this character in any other films, i suppose the distributors didn’t like him, Born Alfred LaRue in Gretna, Louisiana in 1917, he was reared in various towns throughout Louisiana, but in his teens the family moved to Los Angeles, California, where he attended St. John's Military Academy and the College of the Pacific. Strangely, his California death records show his father's last name was Wilson and that Lash was born in Michigan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopman Posted July 24, 2020 Share Posted July 24, 2020 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lash_LaRue https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0479017/ He looked like Bogart, but was skilled with a bullwhip (inspiring Indiana Jones?). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaveH Posted August 6, 2020 Share Posted August 6, 2020 The Carlton wasn't at the bottom of Errington Avenue, it was at the bottom of Errington Road at the junction with Eastern Avenue. As Madannie77 has pointed out there is already a topic on this cinema. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
